Experience
PTC
Software Devloper Intern
June 2022 - August 2022
I interned at PTC working on Creo. My project was creating a in-browser code editor component based on CodeMirror6 and AngularJS. This was followed by a POC on utilizingof the component for API and database querying, integrating it with the Creo offering of PTC.
Siemens Digital Industries Software
Associate Software Engineer
July 2019 - Present
After my graduation, I had the opportunity to work at Siemens Digital Industries Software. My responsibilities were to integrate the Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) offering of Teamcenter with IoT and EAM solutions. I helped develop an application, ServiceMinder, which monitors the asset's performance, detects anomalies, and initiates preventive actions to stop system failure. To integrate Teamcenter with an EAM solution, I was involved in developing a microservice. In the span of a little over a year, I learned and implemented software solutions in Java, C++, Javascript, as well as App-Connect and Mendix development. My work at Siemens focused on creating a closed-loop Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. I enjoyed learning and working at Siemens, and the time I spent there taught me valuable software engineering skills.
Cummins Technical Center India
Intern
May 2018 – July 2018
I was offered a two-month internship at Cummins Technical Center India. My team here was responsible for virtual sensor development on an engine. My responsibility was to develop scripts to handle virtual sensor data. Working at Cummins, I acquired knowledge on the working of an engine control unit (ECU) and various processes that go into writing its code. I was able to identify a pain-point of visualizing virtual sensor data and was able to develop a GUI using MATLAB to resolve it.
Education
University of Virginia
Masters in Computer Engineering
December 2022
I am a grad student at UVA pursuing a Master's in Computer Engineering with a certificate in Cyber-Physical Systems. Autonomous Mobile Robots, Advanced Embedded Systems, and Communication Test-bed and Policy are the few of the courses I am enrolled in. During my time at UVa I was a TA for ECE Capstone as well as for Electromagnetic energy conversion. I was awarded UVA ECE Graduate Teaching Award.
College of Engineering Pune
Electronics and Telecommunication
May 2019
I pursued my undergraduate studies in Electronics and Telecommunication at the College of Engineering Pune (CoEP) with a minor in Computer Engineering. I was involved in a number of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. To name a few I represented the state of Maharashtra at the First Indian National Indoor Rowing Championship. I was a mainstay at Robot Study Circle from my sophomore year. I had the opportunity to represent India at the ABU International Robocon 2017.
Recent Works
Here are some of my favorite projects I have done lately. Feel free to check them out.
Emotion Support Robot.
As part of the curriculum of Advanced Mobile Robotics developed a Emotion Support Robot along with Christof Fehrman, Tyler Haden and Pravardhan Reddy. Developed a Autonomous Emotional Support Robot using a ROSbot2.0 implementing Human-Robot Interaction. Devised the algorithm for the functionality of the robot. Aided in Human Detection and Human Emotion Recognition, Map creation using SLAM, and obstacle aviodance. Created simulation for the same in MATLAB and implemented it using ROS.

Shuttle Delivery Robot.
The Shuttle Delivery Robot was developed as part of the ABU Robocon 2018. My responsibilities were to develop all of the electronic systems necessary to build the bot. The version that made it to the competetion was version 3. Each version had different actuators and approach. I designed the circuit boards necessary as well as wrote the code which was responsible to control the bot.

Recommendations
Ashish Gawali joined Siemens DISW as a fresher through Graduate Trainee Engineer
(GTE) program going through stringent selection process. He was part of Digital
Manufacturing business segment building solution for Service Lifecycle
Management (SLM). During his two years of tenure he has worked on multiple
projects adding tremendous value to the segment. He demonstrated exceptional
analytical skills understanding the complex requirement of the customer, quickly
adopting the technology required to address those requirements and delivering
the solution as planned. What noteworthy is he worked on every technology that
team works on demonstrating good ramp up skills in short period of time. He
surpassed the expectations in every occasion and thus rated as exceptional
performer by management, something which is awarded only to handful of employee
in the organization. He has authored 2 blogs, one published by Siemens and
another under review as of date.
He has a great attitude towards work and
known as a great team player. He is lauded by the colleagues as talented,
disciplined and well natured person.
I understand that he is going for
higher education and would like to wish him all the best.
Very soon after Ashish joined our group, straight from college, it was clear that he would become one of our best. Over the following two years, we came to know Ashish as a very professional, passionate, and hard-working developer. Ashish took upon himself assignments that normally require more experience. He has learned our solution domain in-depth and initiated activities without letting anything come in his way. Whether new technology, a new domain, or an unfamiliar activity – everything was a learning opportunity for Ashish which he took with great talent, enthusiasm, and a smile. Ashish is a great team player, always willing to help his teammates, taking above and beyond his formal responsibilities. Being very passionate and proud of his solution domain, Ashish was among our top professional blog authors. The number of inbound and outbound interactions in which he was involved was exceptional for the time of his service. I’d strongly recommend Ashish with a look forward to an opportunity to work with him again in the future.
I worked with Ashish for 3 years building various robotics projects. Ashish is highly skilled in implementing algorithms. He is always very meticulous over all aspects of his work and his alacrity to learn about new technology in robotics is truly laudable.
I worked with Ashish when he was at Siemens DISW. He can pick up new skills and implement them to develop production-ready code. He was responsible for integrating Teamceter for the Mendix Application we worked on. He likes to take up new challenges and is a great team player. He will be a great asset to any organization he joins.
